A day after heavy rain pummeled Massachusetts, causing floods and snarling travel on Thursday, Bay Staters can expect a return to a more normal weather pattern on Friday and through the weekend. Temperatures on Friday are expected to rebound to the mid-to-high 80s, with humidity making it feel around 90. That said, it won’t be completely dry.

Some places received several inches of rain, others nearby not so much. Shower chances persist through the weekend.

However, locally higher amounts of rainfall, between 2 inches and more than 5 inches, could be possible anywhere in central North Carolina. Areas including and west of Alamance, Chatham, Lee, Moore, and Hoke counties have a slightly greater chance of receiving that higher precipitation.

With a reprieve from wet weather late Thursday night, more rain and potential thunderstorms could be in store for Massachusetts before the weekend starts.
